On Christmas Day, a family gathering in Monroe, Georgia, ended with 35-year-old Tyeisha Colley fatally shot as she and family members were leaving her parents’ home on Maple Way. The shooting happened just after 6 p.m.; authorities found Colley dead in her vehicle of multiple gunshot wounds. Her husband, Jermaul Colley, a U.S. Army veteran, was also wounded but treated and released the same day. The family had been preparing for a trip to Disney with their four children when the attack occurred, and witnesses say there had been no preceding argument.

Police arrested 21-year-old Devin Sullivan that evening at an apartment complex a couple of miles away; he was identified as Colley’s nephew and was charged with murder and aggravated assault. Family members described Colley and Sullivan as having had a very close relationship, saying she had been like a second mother to him, and they reported no awareness that he had a firearm. Some relatives have suggested mental health issues may have been involved.

Colley taught at Salem High School and is remembered by family and community as a woman of strong faith and a devoted mother. Did anyone in the Monroe area know Tyeisha, her family, or have information about that evening?
